Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The highly skilled surgeons at Aspirus use the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System™ to perform a number of robotic-assisted procedures, offering patients options that previously weren’t available for certain conditions and better outcomes.

Robotic-assisted procedures are minimally invasive, and when compared to traditional surgeries, patients experience:

Faster recovery

Fewer complications

Less blood loss

Less pain

Less scarring

Shorter hospital stay

Robotic-assisted surgery is performed by a surgeon who sits at a console controlling the movements of four robotic arms inserted through four small incisions. Three of the arms are fitted with a variety of instruments, and the fourth controls a high-definition, three-dimensional camera that transmits images to the console. At the console, the surgeon is in full control of the movement of the robotic arms.

Types of Robotic-Assisted Procedures

*Some benign gynecologic and gallbladder procedures may be performed using a newer single-site technique that is performed through the naval using only one incision. This technique is even less invasive and virtually scarless.
